Social Media Determines Efficiency of Modern Emergency Management

Group Proposal Paper Assignments

A copy of the completed group project paper AND the file containing your group peer evaluation forms are to be uploaded to each of your assignment folders not later than

25 percent of your grade will depend on your Group Proposal Paper. I am aware that many of you loath group projects, particularly those of you with poor experiences in the past. But the reality is that nowhere in emergency management are projects a solo endeavor.

It is incumbent that you learn how to successfully be a part of a project team. As in real life, you don't get to pick your team members.

Students will work in a group of three to four people on this assignment. The grade of the paper is 80% instructor assigned for the final product, and 20% peer assigned for participation in the group.

Your paper must be rooted in a problem. One identified by a credible and influential source is best; however, the group can also come up with one. Once the problem is identified it should be analyzed. Why is it significant? Is this a new or old problem? What are the implications of this problem etc.....

After the analysis, one should first evaluate solutions (at least 2 but probably more than that) and then make a recommendation. Refer to the Communications Technology Evaluation exercise for a way to do this. I am interested in understanding what criteria you selected, why and how you went about ranking.

Next make a recommendation. Discuss why you made that recommendation, and the implications of doing nothing. Be sure to think of the paper as building an argument or convincing your boss to do something. Use lots of evidence and support.

Make your argument credible by using a transparent process. Make the paper read well, keep the reader interested and engaged. Use visuals when you can.

An alternative is to do a case study of a historical or current issue, problem or disaster.
